Moving an EU LEI to Trusted LEI

Any LEI issued in the EU, or anywhere else, can be moved to us without changing the code. Firms usually transfer to bring all group or fund LEIs under one provider and one renewal date, or to get multi-year cover in a single payment. The transfer is coordinated through GLEIF, and your counterparties, depositary and trade repository see the same LEI as before.

We contact your current issuer and check the record against the national business register as part of the move. If the renewal is due or overdue, it is renewed on transfer. For fund ranges the whole umbrella can be moved in one bulk order.

For a transfer we need

  • The 20-character LEI (or a list, for bulk transfers)
  • The national register number, to verify the record
  • Consent from an authorised signatory or the fund manager

EU LEI transfer questions

Does a transfer affect our MiFIR or EMIR reporting?

No. Reports reference the LEI code, which does not change. Only the managing issuer in the public record is updated.

Can our current provider refuse to release the LEI?

Under GLEIF rules issuers must allow transfers. They can only hold one while a data challenge on the record is unresolved.

How long does a transfer take?

Usually a few working days, depending on how quickly the current issuer responds.
